2 Therefore, O man, you are without excuse, everyone who judges, for in which you judge another you condemn yourself, since you who judge practice the same.

2 And we know that the judgment of hWhY is according to truth against those who practice such.

3 And do you think, O man, you who judge those practicing such, and doing the same, that you shall escape the judgment of hWhY?

4 Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, and tolerance, and patience, not knowing that the kindness of hWhY leads you to repentance?

5 But according to your hardness and your unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of hWhY,

6 who “shall render to each one according to his works”:

7 everlasting ḥai to those who by persistence in good work seek for esteem, and respect, and incorruptibility;

8 but wrath and displeasure to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness;

9 affliction and distress on every human being working what is evil, of the Yahuḏi first, and also of the Yawanite;

10 but esteem, respect, and peace to everyone working what is good, to the Yahuḏi first and also to the Yawanite.

11 For there is no partiality with hWhY.

ROMIYIM
Romans 2: 1-11

AV 17,5785 (08/11/25)

5 But when He saw the crowds, He went up on a mountain. And when He was seated His talmidim came to Him.
2 And having opened His mouth, He was teaching them, saying,
3 “Baruḵ are the poor in spirit, because theirs is the reign of the shamayim.
4 “Baruḵ are those who mourn, because they shall be comforted.
5 “Baruḵ are the meek, because they shall inherit the earth.
6 “Baruḵ are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they shall be filled.
7 “Baruḵ are the compassionate, because they shall obtain compassion.
8 “Baruḵ are the clean in heart, because they shall see YAHUAH.
9 “Baruḵ are the peacemakers, because they shall be called sons of YAHUAH.
10 “Baruḵ are those persecuted for righteousness’ sake, because theirs is the reign of the shamayim.
11 “Baruḵ are you when they reproach and persecute you, and falsely say every wicked word against you, for My sake.
12 “Rejoice and be glad, because your reward in the shamayim is great. For in this way they persecuted the neḇi’im who were before you.
13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt becomes tasteless, how shall it be seasoned? For it is no longer of any use but to be thrown out and to be trodden down by men.
14 “You are the light of the world. It is impossible for a city to be hidden on a mountain.
15 “Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines to all those in the house.
16 “Let your light so shine before men, so that they see your good works and praise your Father who is in the shamayim.
17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Neḇi’im. I did not come to destroy but to complete.
18 “For truly, I say to you, till the shamayim and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.
19 “Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these Commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the shamayim; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the shamayim.
20 “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter into the reign of the shamayim.
21 “You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder,’ and whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.
22 “But I say to you that whoever is wroth with his brother without a cause shall be liable to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raka!’ shall be liable to the Sanhedrin. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to fire of Gĕy-Hinnom.
23 “If, then, you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother holds whatever against you,
24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go, first make peace with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
25 “Be well-minded with your opponent, promptly, while you are on the way with him, lest your opponent deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
26 “Truly, I say to you, you shall by no means get out of there till you have paid the last quarter.
27 “You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
28 “But I say to you that everyone looking at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 “And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than for your entire body to be thrown into Gĕy-Hinnom.
30 “And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than for your entire body to be thrown into Gĕy-Hinnom.
31 “And it has been said, ‘Whoever puts away his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’
32 “But I say to you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the matter of whoring, makes her commit adultery. And whoever marries a woman who has been put away commits adultery.
33 “Again, you heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to YAHUAH.’
34 “But I say to you, do not swear falsely at all, neither by the shamayim, because it is YAHUAH’s throne;
35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Yerushalayim, for it is the city of the great Sovereign;
36 nor swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.
37 “But let your word ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ And what goes beyond these is from the wicked one.
38 “You heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,’
39 but I say to you, do not resist the wicked. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
40 “And he who wants to sue you and take away your inner garment, let him have your outer garment as well.
41 “And whoever compels you to go one miliyon, go with him two.
42 “Give to him who asks of you, and from him who wants to borrow from you, do not turn away.
43 “You heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’
44 “But I say to you, love your enemies, baraḵ those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those insulting you and persecuting you,
45 so that you become sons of your Father in the shamayim. Because He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
46 “For if you love those loving you, what reward have you? Are the tax collectors not doing the same too?
47 “And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more? Are the tax collectors not doing so too?
48 “Therefore, be perfect, as your Father in the shamayim is perfect.

MATTIHYAHU
Matthew 5

AV 18,5785 (08/12/25)

40 To chief singer. A psalm of Dawiḏ.
1 I waited for hWhY; And He inclined to me, and heard my cry.
2 And He drew me Out of the pit of destruction, Out of the muddy clay, And He put my feet upon a rock, He is establishing my steps.
3 Then He put a new song in my mouth; Praise to our Alohym; Many see and revere, And trust in hWhY.
4 Baruḵ is that man who has made HWHY his trust, And has not turned to the proud, And those turning aside to falsehood.
5 O hWhY my Alohym, many are the wonders Which You have done, and Your purposes toward us; There is no one to compare with You; I declare and speak: They are too many to be numbered.
6 Slaughtering and meal offering You did not desire? But a body You have prepared for Me; Burnt offering and sin offering You did not ask for?
7 Then I said, “See, I have come; In the scroll of the Book it is prescribed for me.
8 I have delighted to do Your pleasure, O my Alohym, And Your Torah is within my inward parts.”
9 I have proclaimed the Good News of righteousness, In the great assembly; See, I do not restrain my lips, O hWhY, You know.
10 I did not conceal Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your trustworthiness and Your deliverance; I did not hide Your kindness and Your truth From the great assembly.
11 Do not withhold Your compassion from me, O hWhY; Let Your kindness and Your truth always watch over me.
12 For evils without number have surrounded me; My wickednesses have overtaken me, And I have been unable to see; They became more than the hairs of my head; And my heart has failed me.
13 Be pleased, O hWhY, to deliver me; O hWhY, hasten to help me!
14 Let those who seek to destroy my life Be ashamed and abashed altogether; Let those who are desiring my evil Be driven back and put to shame.
15 Let those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” Be appalled at their own shame.
16 Let all those who seek You Rejoice and be glad in You; Let those who love Your deliverance always say, “hWhY be exalted!”
17 But I am poor and needy; Let hWhY think upon me. You are my help and my deliverer; O my Alohym, do not delay!

TEHILLIM
Psalm 40

AV 20,5785 (08/14/25)

Chapter 2
1 My son, if you come to serve HWHY, Prepare your being for trial.
2 Prepare your heart, and constantly endure, And do not hasten in time of trouble.
3 Cling to Him, and do not depart, That you may be increased at your latter end.
4 Whatsoever is brought upon you, accept cheerfully, And be patient when you are brought low.
5 For gold is tried in the fire, And acceptable men in the furnace of adversity.
6 Believe in Him, and He shall help you; Establish your way, and trust in Him.
7 You who revere HWHY, wait for His kindness; And do not turn aside, lest you fall.
8 You who revere HWHY, believe Him; And your reward shall not fail.
9 You who revere HWHY, have expectancy for good, And for everlasting joy and kindness.
10 Look at the generations of old and see; Did any ever trust in HWHY, and were put to shame? Or did any remain in His reverence, and were forsaken? Or whom did He ever despise, that called upon Him?
11 For HWHY is full of compassion and kindness, Patient, and very tender-hearted, and forgives sins, And saves in time of affliction.
12 Woe unto fearful hearts, and faint hands, And the sinner that goes two ways!
13 Woe unto he who is fainthearted! For he is unbelieving; Therefore he shall not be defended.
14 Woe unto you that have lost patience! And what shall you do when HWHY shall punish you?
15 Those who HWHY shall not disobey His Word; And those who love Him guard His Ways.
16 Those who revere HWHY seek that which is well pleasing to Him; And those who love Him shall be filled with the Torah.
17 Those who revere prepare HWHY their hearts, And humble their beings in His sight,
18 Saying, “We shall fall into the hands of HWHY, and not into the hands of men; For as His excellence is, so is His kindness.”

AV 22,5785 (08/16/25)

1 The vision of Yeshayahu son of Amots, which he saw concerning Yahuḏah and Yerushalayim in the days of Uzziyahu, Yotham, Aḥaz, Ḥizqiyahu - sovereigns of Yahuḏah.
2 Hear, O shamayim, and listen, O earth! For hWhY has spoken, “I have reared and brought up children, but they have transgressed against Me.
3 An ox knows its owner and a donkey its master’s crib - Yisra’ĕl does not know, My people have not understood.”
4 Alas, sinning nation, a people loaded with wickedness, a seed of evil-doers, sons acting corruptly! They have forsaken hWhY, they have provoked the Qadosh One of Yisra’ĕl, they went backward.
5 Why should you be beaten any more? You continue in apostasy! All the head is sick, and all the heart faints.
6 From the sole of the foot, to the head, there is no soundness in it - wounds and bruises and open sores; they have not been closed or bound up, or soothed with ointment.
7 Your land is laid waste, your cities are burned with fire, strangers devour your land in your presence. And it is laid waste, as overthrown by strangers.
8 And the daughter of Tsiyon is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a hut in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Unless hWhY of hosts had left to us a small remnant, we would have become like Seḏom, we would have been made like Amorah.
10 Hear the word of hWhY, you rulers of Seḏom; give ear to the Torah of our Elohim, you people of Amorah!
11 “Of what use to Me are your many slaughterings?” declares hWhY. “I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs or goats.
12 “When you come to appear before Me, who has required this from your hand, to trample My courtyards?
13 “Stop bringing futile offerings, incense, it is an abomination to Me. New Moons, Shabbathoth, the calling of meetings - I am unable to bear unrighteousness and assembly.
14 “My being hates your new moons and your appointed times, they are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them.
15 “And when you spread out your hands, I hide My eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I do not hear. Your hands have become filled with blood.
16 “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Stop doing evil!
17 “Learn to do good! Seek Right-Ruling, reprove the oppressor, defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 “Come now, and let us reason together,” says hWhY. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 “If you submit and obey, you shall eat the good of the land;
20 but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword,” for the mouth of hWhY has spoken.
21 How the steadfast city has become a whore! I have filled it with Right-Ruling; righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers.
22 Your silver has become dross, your wine is mixed with water.
23 Your rulers are stubborn, and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes, and runs after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, nor does the cause of the widow reach them.
24 Therefore the Aḏon declares, hWhY of hosts, Almighty of Yisra’ĕl, “Ah, I shall be eased of My adversaries, and I shall be avenged of My enemies.
25 “And I shall turn My hand against you, and shall refine your dross as with lye, and shall remove all your alloy.
26 “And I shall give back your judges as at the first, and your counsellors as at the beginning. After this you shall be called the city of righteousness, a steadfast city.”
27 Tsiyon shall be ransomed with right-ruling, and her returning ones with righteousness.
28 And the destruction of transgressors and of sinners is together, and those who forsake hWhY shall be consumed.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the terebinth trees which you have desired. And you shall be embarrassed because of the gardens which you have chosen.
30 For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
31 The strong shall be for tow, and his work for a spark. And both shall burn together, with no one to extinguish.

YESHAYAHU
ISAIAH 1

AV 23,5785 (08/17/25)

Therefore, since Mashiaḥ suffered for you in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
2 so that he no longer lives the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but according to the desire of Elohim.
3 For enough of our past lifetime we have done the desire of the gentiles, having walked in indecencies, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, wild parties, and abominable idolatries,
4 in which they are surprised that you do not run with them in the same flood of loose behaviour, blaspheming,
5 who shall give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 For this reason the Good News was also brought to those who are dead, so that, whereas they are judged according to men in the flesh, they might live according to Elohim in the spirit.
7 But the end of all has drawn near. Therefore be sober-minded, and be attentive in the prayers.
8 And above all have fervent love for one another, because love covers a great number of sins.
9 Welcome one another without grumbling.
10 As each one has received a gift, serve one another, as good trustees of the manifold favour of Elohim.
11 If anyone speaks - as the Words of YAHUAH. If anyone serves - with the strength which Elohim provides, so that YAHUAH might be praised in it all through Yahusha ha’Mashiaḥ, to whom belong the esteem and the rule forever and ever. Amĕn.
12 Beloved ones, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that is coming upon you, to try you, as though some unusual matter has befallen you,
13 but as you share Mashiaḥ’s sufferings, rejoice, in order that you might rejoice exultingly at the revelation of His esteem.
14 If you are reproached for the Name of Mashiaḥ - baruḵ, because the Ruaḥ of esteem and of Elohim rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is praised.
15 For do not let any of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or doer of evil, or as a meddler.
16 But if being Mashiaḥiyim, let him not be ashamed, but let him esteem Elohim in this matter.
17 Because it is time for judgment to begin from the House of Elohim. And if firstly from us, what is the end of those who do not obey the Good News of Elohim?
18 And if the righteous one is scarcely saved, where shall the wicked and the sinner appear?
19 So then, those who suffer according to the desire of Elohim should commit their lives to a trustworthy Creator, in doing good.

KĔPHA 1
1 PETER 4

AV 24,5785 (08/18/25)

And Yahusha responded and spoke to them again by parables and said,
2 “The reign of the shamayim is like a man, a sovereign, who made a wedding feast for his son,
3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast. But they would not come.
4 “Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Say to those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle are slaughtered, and all is ready. Come to the wedding feast.” ’
5 “But they disregarded it and went their way - this one to his field, that one to his trade.
6 “And the rest, having seized his servants, insulted and killed them.
7 “But when the sovereign heard, he was wroth, and sent out his soldiers, destroyed those murderers, and lit their city on fire.
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast, indeed, is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9 ‘Therefore go into the street corners, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding feast.’
10 “And those servants went out into the street corners and gathered all whom they found, both wicked and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 “And when the sovereign came in to view the guests, he saw there a man who had not put on a wedding garment,
12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not having a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless.
13 “Then the sovereign said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him out into the outer darkness - there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 “For many are called, but few are chosen.”
15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to trap Him in His words.
16 And they sent to Him their talmidim with the Hĕrodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of Elohim in truth, and it does not concern You about anyone, for You are not partial to any man.
17 “Then say to us, what do You think? Is it right to pay taxes to Kaisar, or not?”
18 But knowing their wickedness, Yahusha said, “Why do you try Me, you hypocrites?
19 “Show Me the coin of the tax.” And they brought Him a silver piece.
20 And He said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?”
21 They said to Him, “Kaisar’s.” And He said to them, “Then give to Kaisar what is Kaisar’s, and to Elohim what is Elohim’s.”
22 And having heard, they marvelled, and left Him and went away.
23 On that day Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,
24 saying, “Teacher, Mosheh said that if anyone should die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise offspring for his brother.
25 “And there were with us seven brothers, and the first died after he had married, and having no children, left his wife to his brother.
26 “In the same way the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27 “And last of all the woman died too.
28 “At the resurrection, then, whose wife of the seven shall she be - for all had her?”
29 And Yahusha answering, said to them, “You go astray, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of Elohim.
30 “For in the resurrection they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of Elohim in the shamayim.
31 “And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by Elohim, saying,
32 ‘I am the Elohim of Aḇraham, and the Elohim of Yitsḥaq, and the Elohim of Ya’aqoḇ’? YAHUAH is not the Elohim of the dead, but of the living.”
33 And when the crowds heard, they were astonished at His teaching.
34 But the Pharisees, having heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, were gathered together,
35 and one of them, one learned in the Torah, questioned, trying Him, and saying,
36 “Teacher, which is the great Command in the Torah?”
37 And Yahusha said to him, “‘You shall love YAHUAH your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your mind.’
38 “This is first and great Command.
39 “And the second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’
40 “On these two Commands hang all the Torah and the Neḇi’im.”
41 And when the Pharisees were gathered together, Yahusha asked them,
42 saying, “What do you think concerning ha’Mashiaḥ? Whose Bĕn is He?” They said to Him, “Of Dawiḏ.”
43 He said to them, “Then how does Dawiḏ in the Ruaḥ call Him ‘Aḏoni,’ saying,
44 ‘YAHUAH said to Aḏoni, “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet” ’?
45 “If then Dawiḏ calls Him ‘Aḏoni,’ how is He his Bĕn?”
46 And no one was able to answer Him a word, and from that day on no one asked Him any more questions.

MATTIHYAHU
Matthew 22

AV 25,5785 (08/19/25)

A Prayer of Yahoshua the son of Sira.

1 I thank you, O Aḏon and Sovereign, And praise You, O Elohim my Saviour; I give praise to Your Name;
2 For You are my Defender and Helper, And have preserved my body from destruction, And from the snare of the slanderous tongue, And from the lips that forge lies, And have been my Helper against my adversaries;
3 And have delivered me, according to the multitude of Your kindnesses and greatness of Your Name, From the teeth of those who were ready to devour me, And out of the hands of those who sought after my life, And from the great afflictions which I had;
4 From the choking fire on every side, And from the midst of the fire which I did not kindle;
5 From the depth of the inward parts of She’ol, From an unclean tongue, and from lying words.
6 By an accusation to the sovereign from an unrighteous tongue, My being drew near unto death, My life was near to She’ol beneath.
7 They surrounded me on every side, And there was no one to help me. I looked for the support of men, but there was none.
8 Then I thought upon Your favour, O YAHUAH, And upon Your acts of old, How You save those who wait on You, And save them out of the hands of their enemies.
9 Then I lifted up my supplications from the earth, And prayed for deliverance from death,
10 I called upon Aḏonai YAHUAH, the Father, That He would not leave me in the days of my trouble, And in the time of the proud, when there was no help.
11 I praise Your Name continually, And sing praises with thanksgiving; And so my prayer is heard.
12 For You saved me from destruction, And delivered me from the evil time; Therefore I thank and praise You, And baraḵ Your Name, O YAHUAH!
13 When I was still young, or if I ever went travelling, I desired wisdom openly in my prayer.
14 I prayed for her before the Hĕyḵal, And shall seek her to the end.
15 Even from the flower till the grape was ripe, My heart has delighted in her; My foot went the right way, From my youth upward I sought after her.
16 I bowed down my ear a little, and received her, And acquired much learning.
17 I profited in this, therefore I shall ascribe esteem to He who gives me wisdom.
18 For I purposed to go after her, And earnestly I followed that which is good; So I shall not be ashamed.
19 My being has wrestled with her, And in my doings I was exact. I stretched forth my hands to the shamayim above, And bewailed my ignorances of her.
20 I directed my being unto her, And I found her in pureness. I have had my heart joined with her from the beginning, Therefore I shall not be forsaken.
21 My heart was troubled in seeking her; Therefore I have received a good possession.
22 YAHUAH has given me a tongue for my reward, And I shall praise Him with it!
23 Draw near unto me, you unlearned, And dwell in the house of learning.
24 Why are you slow, and what do you say to these? Seeing your beings are very thirsty.
25 I opened my mouth, and said, “Acquire her for yourselves without silver.”
26 Put your neck under the yoke, and let your being receive instruction; She is found to be close at hand.
27 See with your eyes, how I have only little labour, And have received much rest.
28 Acquire learning with a great sum of silver, And get much gold by her.
29 Let your being rejoice in His kindness, And do not be ashamed of His praise.
30 Work your work early, And in His time He shall give you your reward.

Chapter 51

AV 27,5785 (08/21/25)

“Woe to those making unrighteous decrees, writers who have prescribed toil,
2 to keep the needy back from right-ruling, and to take what is right from the poor of My people, that widows become their prey, and orphans their plunder.
3 “What shall you do in the day of visitation, and in the ruin which comes from afar? To whom would you run for help? And where would you leave your wealth?
4 “Without Me they shall bow down among the prisoners, and fall among the slain.” With all this His displeasure has not turned back, and His hand is still stretched out.
5 “Woe to Ashshur, the rod of My displeasure and the staff in whose hand is My displeasure.
6 “Against a defiled nation I send him, and against the people of My wrath I command him to seize the spoil, to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mud of the streets.
7 “But he does not intend so, nor does his heart think so, for it is in his heart to destroy, and cut off not a few nations.
8 “For he says, ‘Are not my princes sovereigns?
9 ‘Is not Kalno like Karkemish? Is not Ḥamath like Arpaḏ? Is not Shomeron like Dammeseq?
10 ‘As my hand has found the reigns of the idols, whose carved images excelled those of Yerushalayim and Shomeron,
11 as I have done to Shomeron and her idols, do I not do also to Yerushalayim and her idols?’
12 “And it shall be, when YAHUAH has performed all His work on Mount Tsiyon and on Yerushalayim, that I shall punish the fruit of the greatness of the heart of the sovereign of Ashshur, and the boasting of his haughty looks.
13 “For he has said, ‘By the power of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have been clever. And I remove the boundaries of the people, and have robbed their treasuries. And I put down the inhabitants like a strong one.
14 ‘And my hand finds the riches of the people like a nest. And I have gathered all the earth like forsaken eggs are gathered. And there was no one who moved his wing, nor opened his mouth with even a peep.’ ”
15 Would the axe boast itself over him who chops with it, or the saw exalt itself over him who saws with it? As a rod waving those who lift it up! As a staff lifting up that which is not wood!
16 Therefore the Aḏon, YAHUAH of hosts, sends leanness among his fat ones. And under his esteem he kindles a burning like the burning of a fire.
17 And the Light of Yisra’ĕl shall be for a fire, and his Qadosh One for a flame. And it shall burn and devour his weeds and his thornbushes in one day,
18 and consume the esteem of his forest and of his fertile field, both life and flesh. And they shall be as when a sick man wastes away,
19 and the remaining trees of his forest shall be so few in number that a child records them.
20 And in that day it shall be that the remnant of Yisra’ĕl, and those who have escaped of the house of Ya’aqoḇ, never again lean upon him who smote them, but shall lean upon YAHUAH, the Qadosh One of Yisra’ĕl, in truth.
21 A remnant shall return, the remnant of Ya’aqoḇ, to the Mighty Ĕl.
22 For though your people, O Yisra’ĕl, be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return - a decisive end, overflowing righteousness.
23 For the Aḏon YAHUAH of hosts is making a complete end, as decided, in the midst of all the earth.
24 Therefore thus said the Aḏon YAHUAH of hosts, “My people, who dwell in Tsiyon, be not afraid of Ashshur, who beats you with a rod and lifts up his staff against you, in the way of Mitsrayim.
25 “For yet a little while and the displeasure shall be completed, and My displeasure be to their destruction.”
26 And YAHUAH of hosts stirs up a lash for him as the smiting of Miḏyan at the rock of Orĕḇ. And as His rod was on the sea, so shall He lift it up in the way of Mitsrayim.
27 And in that day it shall be that his burden is removed from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil.
28 He has come upon Ayath, he has passed Miḡron. At Miḵmash he stored his supplies.
29 They have gone through the pass, they have taken up lodging at Geḇa. Ramah is afraid, Giḇ’ah of Sha’ul has fled.
30 Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim! Listen, Layishah - O poor Anathoth!
31 Maḏmĕnah has fled, the inhabitants of Gĕḇim sought refuge.
32 Yet he remains at Noḇ that day; he shakes his fist at the mountain of the daughter of Tsiyon, the hill of Yerushalayim.
33 Look, the Aḏon, YAHUAH of hosts, is lopping off a branch with an awesome crash, and the tall ones are cut down, and the lofty ones are laid low.
34 And He shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Leḇanon shall fall as a mighty one!

YESHAYAHU
ISAIAH 10

AV 28,5785 (08/22/25)

I swear unto you that in the shamayim the messengers remember you for good before the esteem of the Great One, and your names are written before the esteem of the Great One.
2 Have expectancy; for beforehand you were put to shame through ill and affliction; but now you shall shine as the lights of the shamayim, you shall shine and you shall be seen, and the doors of the shamayim shall be opened to you.
3 And in your cry, cry for judgment, and it shall appear to you; for all your tribulation shall be visited on the rulers, and on all who helped those who plundered you.
4 Have expectancy, and do not cast away your expectancies, for you shall have great joy as the messengers of the shamayim.
5 What shall you be obliged to do? You shall not have to hide on the day of the great judgment and you shall not be found as sinners, and the eternal judgment shall be far from you for all the generations of the world.
6 And now, do not fear you righteous, when you see the sinners growing strong and prospering in their ways. Do not be companions with them, but keep far from their violence; for you shall become companions of the hosts of the shamayim.
7 And, although you sinners say, “All our sins shall not be searched out and be written down,” nevertheless they shall write down all your sins every day.
8 And now I show unto you that light and darkness, day and night, see all your sins.
9 Do not be wicked in your hearts, and do not lie and do not alter the Words of uprightness, nor charge with lying the Words of the Qodesh Great One, nor take account of your idols; for all your lying and all your wickedness do not come forth in righteousness but in great sin.
10 And now I know this mystery, that sinners will change and pervert the Words of righteousness in many ways, and will speak wicked words, and lie, and practice great deceits, and write books concerning their words.
11 But when they write down truthfully all my words in their languages, and do not change or diminish ought from my words but write them all down truthfully - all that I first witnessed concerning them.
12 Then, I know another mystery, that books will be given to the righteous and the wise to become a cause of joy and uprightness and much wisdom.
13 “And to them shall the books be given, and they shall believe in them and rejoice over them, and then all the righteous who have learned from them - all the paths of uprightness - shall be recompensed.”
